组织生态学是产业组织理论的重要分支,而密度依赖理论是组织生态学的重要构成部分。通过对国内外相关文献进行梳理,本文发现国外研究呈现跟随、批判、拓展、创新的发展脉络,而国内研究目前仍处于跟随阶段。通过文献跟踪,发现当前文献中存在社会网络、外部冲击与特殊情境这三个新的研究聚焦点。最后,建议国内学者在研究中应善于利用国内丰富的情境,如地理区域差异、所有制差异与政府行为等,来检验密度依赖效应在中国情境下的适用性,并基于此对理论进行拓展与创新。 Organizational ecology is an important branch of industrial organization theory, and density dependence theory is an important part of organizational ecology. Through sorting out relevant literatures both at home and abroad, this paper finds that the foreign studies present a development context of following, criticizing, expanding and innovating. However, the domestic researches are still in the following stage. Through literature tracking, it is found that there are three new research focuses in the current literature: social networks, external shocks and special situations. Finally, it is suggested that domestic scholars should be good at using abundant domestic contexts, such as geographical differences, differences in ownership and government behaviors, to test the applicability of density-dependent effects in China and to expand and innovate the theories .
